Find Out How to Navigate Conflict at Work at Our Lunch & Learn

Feb. 1, 2023, 7:23 PM UTC

Telling someone an uncomfortable truth can be difficult—especially in a professional setting where constructive criticism, work product disagreements, and personality clashes are inevitable. To avoid an argument or to spare someone’s feelings, sometimes it’s easier to just let things go. But it also can lead to greater problems down the road.

There are ways to communicate your message without triggering a “fight or flight” response in the other person—or in yourself. Hear more about some of those strategies by joining Bloomberg Tax and Bloomberg Law Insights and Commentary teams on Feb. 23 from noon to 1 p.m. ET for “How to Have Difficult Conversations in the Workplace,” part of our free virtual Lunch & Learn series.

We’ve recruited an expert who specializes in helping organizations respond successfully to the challenges of continuous change:

Jeffrey Russell is co-owner of Russell Consulting Inc., which focuses on strategic planning, employee engagement, leadership development, and performance coaching. Russell has worked for Fortune 500 firms, nonprofits, the public sector, and small family businesses.

You can join us for this event, no registration required, by signing on here at noon ET on Feb. 23 or by calling +1- US and entering the meeting ID: 943 1572 0340.
